MediaWiki made it easy on us with their "Extension Distributor"


Assuming the below link is still valid, you can browse a dropdown list of available extensions and dropdown list of stable releases of MediaWiki.

  1. Download an extension
  2. uncompress the downloaded extension
  3. add the extension to the "extensions" directory in your wiki
  4. Open the README for installation instructions
    1. usually you do this by modifying LocalSettings.php
      1. often, just add the following line:
wfLoadExtension('[NameOfYourExtension]');
